It's a 1500km (Adelaide to Alice Springs) drive to get back to him so I will just have to live with it for the time being. I will check and dress the dump and just get a 3.5 inch exhaust made to be certain I can rule that out.

I was told it was pinging so he got out of it straight away.

Should have done a run with exhaust dropped before the cat.

This is important, the exhaust side restriction on this turbo can affect your boost level and afr by lot. Usually once a free flow system is installed, it will be creeping boost using your current EBC settings and make your AFR run lean. In your case I will be getting my self a wide band gauge and touch up the fuel on WTO after the dump pipe is checked with new exhaust installed.

Also plug your boost gauge before the cooler and compare pressure differences to the graph.

I agree too lean, on 98RON especially at peak torque you want it rich.. nearly pig rich to keep it cooler.

When I work with 98, I drop it down to 11.5afr even richer depending on how small the turbo is. Larger turbos "breathe" better so there is a lower chance of knocking.

Before you start doing anything silly, how's your timing belt? best to take off the cover and turn your crank to TDC and see if everything is aligned correctly.

Timing belt hasn't been touched and never had an issue with last tune 12 months ago. Now has bigger turbo that should breathe alot better so maybe the exhaust is now a restriction. I will see what I can do to fatten it up in peak torque and at wot

Ha ha, love the workshop name.

I agree with the others though, that AFR graph looks a bit scary. Like the red one better.

I would be adding 10% more fuel across the board and then check the AFRs in the meantime mate just to keep things safe

I thought the general rule of thumb was 15:1 on cruise and 12:1 @ WOT?!

I realise different applications this would vary but the redline appears to be almost 10:1..........quite rich!?

Petrol tunes running afr of 12.0 flat is too lean id fatten that up at 20psi even more so if your trying to add more timing and there is inefficiencies in the system.

do most tuners really run 10.1-11.1 for the final tune at WOT?

seems a bit too rich, i can understand running that rich to iron out the lean spots and then bumping up the afr to 11-12 at WOT for the final tune

According to the tuner my wideband gauge reads leaner than his from the dyno.

Was looking at ign timing on the power fc at idle and it's showing 10 deg but I could've sworn my cas was set at 20 deg and it was marked and doesn't appear to have been moved.

If the idle ignition timing was initially in the ECU at 20* you want to set your base timing at 20* so obviously the ecu's adjustments are directly related to what is really happening at the crank angle he may have put it down to 10* while tuning.

Which means he has 10 degrees less timing @ idle.

Yeah it was idling high so the timing was pulled back to rectify that. I'm not about to adjust the cas as it was tuned for where it's at now.

ehh... wtf? come on man, if your tuna is doing that.. I would have many questions to ask.

    • Hey lads, reviving an old thread.  As an update, since the last time replied to this thread, ive done mostly suspension. Havent touched the motor except for maintenance. Though upon changing spark plugs, found out i had splitfires pre-installed! Updates: - Got me some stock airbox top cover and snorkel to fit onto the original intake. Should be free of defects - Bought a set of R34 GT-T brakes (not installed yet, going to rebuild + respray in champion blue + white 'Nissan' text) - Bought the last set of bilsteins from @Sydneykid and had them installed. Has been making some sounds on the rear but hopefully should be sorted out after this New Year break. - Regreased front caster rod bushings (poly bushes..) - Rear upper camber arms - Whiteline sway bars (BNF27Z 22mm + BNR11XXZ 24mm).  The rear sway bars are a bit short (ive read 50mm else where) but was still able to get them in.  Anyhows, I reckon suspension is sorted now. Maybe replace bushes (do have a set of front upper control arms from SK not installed yet) but should be okay for now. From now, I'm wanting to start working on the motor, drivetrain etc etc. Still debating on the order to go on and what to buy etc but: - ECU ( Haltech or Link ( Link states that it dont support A/T or AWD functions... Can anyone attest to this? ) - Highflow turbo ( ATR43ss2 ) - Intercooler ( Not decided yet, but cant find many good afoordable ones. Toshi says to opt for crossflow Japanese. Bit difficult this one, unless I get a returnflow Blitz from JJ? ) - Injectors ( Any recommendations ? I do have a nismo FPR ( Thanks SK ) ) - Seats - Tune by either Toshi or DVS To be fair, I did consider just keeping the stock turbo and nistuning it. Sat in a mates stock N, that had something like 200kw, and I reckon that felt more than enough. Maybe I should just go this route ahhaha. Too many choices.... Planning a trip down south, so wanting to just clean things up and make sure it gets to and from in one piece. Anything else specifically I should do before ? Cheers lads  
    • Must be for the car’s lucky charm 🤷🏽‍♂️ She runs fine, but it just seems to take about 1L less. Maybe I’ll have the oil sump dropped at some point to check if there is anything 
    • Hmmm interesting. Mine is the exact same and clearly the right one.  The mystery of the engine oil being full after 3.5-4L continues
